U.S. Lawmakers And Pundits Condemn U.S. Brokered Ceasefire In Syria



The Hill: Pelosi, Schumer hit 'flailing' Trump over 'sham ceasefire' deal

Top congressional Democrats lashed out President Trump for agreeing to drop recently announced sanctions against Turkey as part of a cease-fire agreement announced Thursday.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) said Trump "is flailing" and that he agreed not to implement sanctions against Turkey for a "sham ceasefire."

WNU Editor: This ceasefire just saved the Syrian Kurds from being exterminated, but among many in Congress and in the media there is widespread condemnation of this deal. There is now even bi-partisan U.S. Senate support to sabotage it .... US senators to move 'full steam ahead' with Turkey sanctions (Al Jazeera). This is why the US finds itself in never-ending wars that consume American lives and treasure. Progressive or neocon, it makes no difference. The political and media establishment in Washington is vested and obsessed with using the U.S. military to solve historical/tribal conflicts in places that have little if any strategic value to the U.S., while ignoring real problems that the U.S. is facing at home right now.

"while ignoring real problems that the U.S. is facing at home right now."

This is exactly the problem. These politicians don't want to solve the problems at home, so this is a diversion.

The aliens are perhaps just waiting for the inevitable end when mankind destroys itself completely, or, reducing its warring abilities to sticks and stones. Then they will come for the harvest.
